Lurk – Language for Recursive ZK-SNARKs Inspired by Common Lisp and Scheme
hi this is very interesting. why is there a common lisp and rust version? digging through i also found Alu [0], another common lisp project for zk circuits. since you are using common lisp and static typing is important to you are you aware of coalton [1]?

Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2022)
Lurk Lab @ Protocol Labs | Multiple Positions | REMOTE | Full-time
Lurk Lab is building Lurk (https://github.com/lurk-lang), a Turing-complete programming language for recursive zk-SNARKs. Lurk implements a minimal Lisp whose program executions can be proved in zero-knowledge, yielding succinct proofs that are concretely small and fast to verify. Lurk uses a Rust implementation (https://github.com/lurk-lang/lurk-rs) for expression evaluation, proving, and verification, with Nova (https://github.com/microsoft/Nova/) as its proving backend. Because Lurk is Turing-complete, it can be used to make and prove arbitrary computational claims (within resource limits).
We are looking for strong cryptography engineers, researchers, functional programming language specialists, applications developers, and start-up leaders/web3 entrepreneurs who want to build next-generation SNARK technology.
Ideal candidates will be knowledgeable about the state of the art in zero-knowledge proofs and (if looking for an engineering position) strong in Rust.
We are specifically hiring for:
- Rust Cryptography Engineers

How to Prove You Know a Secret Without Giving It Away
I recently published a fairly detailed blog post about how to formulate expressive provable programs in Lurk (https://github.com/lurk-lang/lurk-rs). Although this post goes into no details about the underlying proving mechanism, it does build to some pretty powerful ideas. If you haven't thought about the implications of being able to prove correctness of a computation without revealing some or all details of what the computation actually was, you might enjoy it. https://blog.lurk-lang.org/posts/prog-intro/

Lurk – Language for Recursive ZK-SNARKs Inspired by Common Lisp and Scheme
Nova (for example) doesn't require a trusted setup. The circuit is just a schematic description of the underlying computation. In the case of the Lurk core language, this computation is 'one reduction step of a Lurk evaluation' (https://github.com/lurk-lang/lurk-rs/blob/master/spec/reduct...). Coming up with a 'fixed computation' that yields general computation is part of the design problem for Lurk (or any other Lurk-like language). Even if we did need a per-circuit trusted setup (which we don't), we could perform such a setup for our core circuit and use it to prove arbitrary programs. For example, although we have not actually performed the trusted setup, we do have an example using Groth16 (which does require a trusted setup to be secure) and aggregates the potentially many discrete reduction steps to produce a succinct proof.
